The building was once chopped up into several units after the original owners. Everything invites you to touch and feel unlike most Wright museums. The furniture is sparse and reproductions.

This is an extremely well done space that also has a short movie explaining Dunbar's life…read more I had never heard of Dunbar until this visit and it was another opportunity where I found myself mad at how many amazing historical figures we never learned about. One thing to note is that the entrance to the museum is on the back side of the building, so if you park in front of the house you will need to go around the corner. (they really need some improved signage). The rangers were some of the friendliest I've ever encountered at any parks site and they were so helpful and informative. There is a video detailing Paul Dunbar and his legacy and it was really informative. The museum itself takes you into the house where you can see displays of some of his poetry and artifacts from his life. We did not opt for the guided tour of the house, but it is an option if you have the time and want to delve even further into his life. There is also a Junior Ranger program that you can complete for a badge. Overall, a wonderful site where you can likely learn a lot about someone you likely had never heard of prior to your visit. Definitely worth stopping in!

Lots of spaces to wander thru, lots of eye catching displays to keep you entertained and elevate use of your brain. The waterway is one of may favorite parts of the museum and glad it's still up and running 20+ years later. We actually went to watch the Mesmerica 360 show in the dome theater. That was rather mundane to me but that's not the fault of the museum. My biggest peeve of the visit was seeing the us flag was still being masted when it is in tatters. I posted in my 'check in' and I will post again here in my review that it's time to retire this flag and replace with a fresh replacement. Whomever is in charge of the grounds here should be embarrassed. Please do better.

Aimed at single-digits ages, and Kid K felt a little old I think. She found stuff to do, but a quieter day with not so many little kids would have been more fun for her. Still, she did some of the science things, and we went to the indoor zoo- very cool, very cute, very clean. They had a few scheduled special activities during the day but we missed them. There were a lot of staff around helping and keeping an eye on things, which is always good. Multiple discounts, so check for those. Prices are reasonable even without them. Parking was packed on a busy day, but we found a spot. It's in a big park so no other crowded places nearby. A great draw for the area.

Car museums are…read moreplaces I go out of my way to visit, and America's Packard Museum took a former car dealership and turned it into a gallery of automotive art. The building still carries that vintage showroom feel, which makes wandering through the first room a treat. A spent two hours here and could have easily stayed longer, especially with cars like the 1935 Twelve All‑Weather Cabriolet by LeBaron, the 1935 Rolls‑Royce 20/25 Cabriolet by Hooper, and the 1937 Super Eight Limousine greeting you right out of the gate. It's a tremendous lineup and beautifully presented. My favorites leaned toward the unusual, starting with the 1917 Twin Six Motorhome. I'm into RVs so seeing one of the earliest examples - twenty‑five feet long, with a stove, a convertible bed‑sofa setup, a commode, and a V12 Packard drivetrain - was a real highlight. The 1940 Model 120 Convertible Victoria by Darrin, the 1953 Caribbean, and the 1952 Parisian Coupe by Pinin Farina rounded out a list of cars that made the visit feel like flipping through a living design history book. There are so many cars here, each captioned with its own story, and the museum does a great job of letting you enjoy them at your own pace. [Review 980 of 2026 - 356 in Ohio - 26159 overall]

You can use the booklet to get stamps at each location and if you visit eight different sites, (four are required) you get an adorable aviation bear! They also have occasional special events throughout the year. There is a map and descriptions of each location. I knew there was a lot to see aviation related in the area, but I had no idea just how many cool sites there were. Definitely pick up the trail map (even if you don't plan on trying to earn the bear) so you can get a fuller picture of the available locations.

The Parachute Museum is located on the second floor of the Wright Dunbar Interpretive Center in the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, while the passport can be picked up at many of the 17 participating sites (which includes Wright Dunbar Interpretive Center). The passport: this is a brochure that provides an overview of the 17 sites and has a page where you can get each site stamped as you visit. We actually picked up ours at the Huffman Prairie Visitors Center and went from there. It was fun to explore the different sites, which included both well known sites like the National Museum of the US Air Force, to smaller locations. While the majority are in Dayton, as one might anticipate, there are several others in the greater Ohio area. The museum: We admittedly did not know too much about parachutes before visiting the museum. It's a nice one room space that has a lot of information, displays, and a couple of interactive exhibits to see how parachutes work. They also have a very fun photo opportunity where you can pretend to be parachuting. For the museum, there is a parking lot available behind the center.
